Shakes or Wobbles problem
2004 Honda Accord 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic 207K+ miles

My 04 Accord feels like it's going to shake itself apart when I get up to about 60mph. It only shakes between 50 and 60mph (starts around 53mph and becomes very noticeable at 60mph) and has been doing so for a couple of weeks. It happens primarily when I'm accelerating but will continue to if I hold at 60mph.

I recently brought it to the shop where they rebalanced the wheels but this didn't solve the problem.

In the last two months the front axle was replaced. I don't know what other details are relevant.

What could be causing this? Thanks for the help.

Have they tried rotating your tires? You can balance the wheel until the cows come home.. but if the rim is bent or the tire is bad, it will still give you a shake.
